Carnival Sunday 2013 in Rio poses a challenge to the reveler's stamina, with tempting free street parades in several neighborhoods, from morning to night.
Bangalafumenga, partying very early, and Cordão do Boitatá are excellent ways to get your day started.

The day closes with Cacique de Ramos (the Ramos Chief), founded in the Ramos district in 1961 with a symbolic tribute to Brazil's indigenous roots to this day. The bloco made the news during Rio+20 last year when they hosted a celebration for members of indigenous tribes who were at the event's Kari-oca village.
